Lars Peter Jensen is originally from Denmark and arrived in the U.S.A. in 2003 and settled in Brevard County Florida where he lives with his wife and three children. Lars is the head of sales, marketing, and business development and part owner of the Blackmore Company. Blackmore has been instrumental in the horticulture industry for more than 50 years. His company holds a patent for the Air Tray® technologies system which is what drew Lars to the company.  As a systems person. Lars has a simplified but analytical approach to nursery production. His philosophy includes these two mottos "Don't automate a problem - remove it". And "To each action, there is a reaction". Lars' entry into the green industry was accidental – right out of a Denmark college, Lars went to Seattle, Washington to reorganize and run a small subsidiary of a Danish company. (His degree from university was International Sales). This was the first time Lars came to America and he liked it .. a lot. After his taste of the U.S., and needing a work permit, Lars went back to Denmark and went on with his career in international sales and marketing. Lars settled down in Vejle, Denmark, and had a family. One day he received a call from Ellepot a company in Denmark asking him to go to America for them. At first, he said no, but then after talking it over with his wife, they agreed to go to the U.S. and settle in, Florida. This is where he met Skip Blackmore the owner of the Blackmore Company – the distributor of the Ellepot in the U.S. Working with Skip Blackmore, Lars learned a great deal and eventually became a partner in the Blackmore Company. This was the start of a 20-year “road trip” as Lars calls it with a lot of bumps, hills, and unexpected curves but it all led to Air Tray® Technologies, which holds the Ellepot. This combination is a revolution in the horticulture industry and will lead to the next generation of growing efficiently and in half the time. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plantatrilliontrees/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plantatrilliontrees/support

Time is unforgiving. It passes swiftly and with each day we age, becoming part of one of the fastest-growing population segments in the U.S. In this episode of I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, I talk with my dear friend Vimarie Monopoli, Director of Development at Age Matters in Brevard, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping mitigate the challenges faced by people 60+ in Brevard County (Florida) with the goal of supporting independence, health, safety and quality of life. As a fierce advocate for all things good, Vimarie points out that in the next 20 years close to one-third of our population will be seniors and that among the many issues that come along with aging, two standouts are hunger and isolation. “One in five senior adults say that they feel lonely,” she states adding that we are having fewer children and we don't necessarily live close to them once they leave home. This poses serious challenges that require all-hands-on deck to address. Following are some key takeaways from our conversation: Plan ahead of time with your family what living as an older adult looks like for you and your loved ones – the who, when, what, where, and how of caregiving. Expose children/youth to opportunities to visit and help elders in the community to create a better support system as a collective and inclusive society. Developing understanding, empathy, and a realization at a young age that we are all heading to becoming seniors might help us in the future. Donate money at the local level to organizations that are directly impacting the lives of people who are aging and are homebound suffering from hunger and loneliness. If you don't have time to volunteer, support people who can. Volunteer once a week to deliver one meal to an older adult. Aside from bringing much-needed nutritious food, this may be the only contact the person will have with another human being that day. Start learning now how to put aside your pride and ask for help. You're gonna need it eventually. While we all want to be independent as long as we can, at some point there will be areas of your life you will need assistance with.

Self-love, well-being, and mindset are at the heart of our conversations because once you change the inside, the outside will begin to change as well. Welcome back to Exploring the Seasons of Life podcast. I appreciate that you are spending time with me today and I am so happy to share my conversation with Connie Viveros with you. Connie Viveros is a professionally trained and Certified transformational life coach. She is an inspiring public speaker on transformation and a published co-author of two books. Connie is a longtime advocate for women’s rights and social-change philanthropy and leads personal development seminars and life-changing workshops in California and now online!  Connie‘s personal passion is connecting with women who also believe they can and must make a difference in this world – starting with themselves. She is dedicated to creating inspiring content and programs that empower all women to transform self-doubt into self-love. Oh, Connie, I love that so much. Thank you for being here on the podcast today. I really appreciate it. Connie Viveros  1:35  Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. Cindy MacMillan  1:37  So what does exploring the seasons of life mean to you personally, or in your business? Connie Viveros  1:43  Well, Cindy, I think this is a great question. It is a wonderful metaphor for life as a whole, but also for honoring the seasons not only of life in general as we go from our infancy all the way to adulthood and then into our geriatric years, you might say I'm actually in my 60s. So I'm in that phase of my life right now, where I definitely feel is a cycle that is ended and both beginning. And sometimes I feel very strongly that this generation and this period of time on our planet is one of the first where we haven't really honored those cycles, those cycles of nature, those cycles of the moon, and I for one, what this means to me, is to honor that that is a cycle. It means we're not always in constant flow, that we actually honor that time where sometimes we retreat. We go into darkness, we go into the gestation period, and we grow something new, we plant something new instead of always being addicted to this concept of being go go go do do do and flow. Sometimes we need to retreat. And I love that that is really what your topic seasons of life means to me both in my life as a whole, as well as the cycles that I'm going through. And I feel very strongly that right now, I'm in a new cycle of my life, like birthing almost a reinvention of who I'm going to be in my for the next 30 years, so to speak. Cindy MacMillan  3:30  Thank you. So what are you birthing right now? Connie Viveros  3:34  Well, what I'm birthing right now, I believe is, and I really dislike this, this word, but I will say many of you might understand the triple goddess, which is the Maiden, Mother, Crone, and I'm choosing to call the grandmother stage. So what I'm feeling very called to birth right now is that wise woman, that wisdom, that keeper of the wisdom, I've gone through my maiden voyage I've been a mother I have raised three grown children, they're all adult children now. And I'm entering into that phase where that level of responsibility no longer I hold it as tightly and I get to in a sense; what do I want to do next? And that I'm choosing to call the grandmother, the wise woman, the keeper of the ancient secrets. And that's kind of flowing in now as I sit in my own gestation my own new birth and cycle of life of saying, what does that look like? How will my classes be this virus clearly has brought about a whole new paradigm in the way we deliver our work. They used to be commonly in-person workshops, and all of that has been reimagined to online. So it's shifting and changing and I'm seeing Oh, new possibility, new ways of growing new ways of working with women from afar from us. From much further distances. Cindy MacMillan  5:01  That's right. When you and I first connected about you coming on the podcast, it was right as the virus was becoming, I'm going to say well known and everything was changing. And we just had to, you know, reschedule the date because you had a lot of commitments and workshops at the time that you had to take care of. Connie Viveros  5:22  I did and I had to quickly you know, reimagine them and redirect them to an online format. And with that, Cindy, unbelievably, they have doubled in size and capacity. We would typically do workshops where I would attract 20 or 30, which is a good number to have in your workshop. So and online, they're bursting with 60 - 70 women attending in attendance, men and women but predominantly women been the energy of everyone is putting their work out there and people are looking and seeking and hungry for, you know, give me some content something to do while I'm in this situation. And as luck would have it, we were able to reimagine it and re approach with online to offer them   Cindy MacMillan  6:12  You're right about people looking for things to do. You know, as I'm going, as I look on Facebook and things like that, I can see that people are starting to get I am going to use the word antsy, you know, because we have been at home now for about six weeks. So they're looking for those things to enrich their lives. Connie Viveros  6:36  Absolutely right. They've gone through sort of the existential crisis of the situation and now they're moving into some like to call it cabin fever. And it's kind of hard to sit on your hands any longer. You know, they've watched enough Netflix they've eaten enough food, they're really looking to create a, I would say routine and I know for myself, that's been really positive thing that I've been able to create a new routine inside this capsule. I can't go to the gym I don't have my girlfriend's to walk with. And so I've created my own. Cindy MacMillan  7:11  What intrigued me Connie was all your work around your nonprofit leadership and social justice work. How did you become interested in working for underserved women? Connie Viveros  7:23  Well, the story is long and winding. And it actually began Cindy, back in the day when we were both in community with Debbie Ford. And at the time, I was so enthralled by Debbie's work. So Debbie's work and the coaching really was first; that was the horse before the cart. We were invited during one of our workshops to help Debbie and her son Beau, who was 13 at the time to build a school in Uganda. And my hand,it was one of those spiritual impulses like my hand flew up in the air and it's like, wait, wait, wait, who whose hand is that up there? And it was okay, I'm in. And upon participating in that, Debbie, as you know, fell ill shortly after around 2009 2010, she was invited to go see the school that she had and her community had built. And she was not well enough to really travel to a third world country for so many reasons. And she looked around the room and said, Connie, why don't you go and I kind of looked over my shoulder like me, like, Why? Why? Why are you picking on me? You know? Anyway, I thought to myself, I remember going home and getting in my car and driving home and saying, why not? You know, I could that would be a it would be a real act of service. And I love Debbie, as you know, and the work we did with her was just so, so deep and incredibly transformational. So I said yes, and upon that trip going to Africa and seeing the school that her organization, The Collective Heart was called at the time changed my life. It changed my life. I didn't know what to expect going to Africa. And there's a little bit of a story there. But I it's kind of long, but I won't tell you the details of that. But in the end, as I stood there in front of the school that we had helped build, there was a vision that I had seen previously in a meditation that was realized in that moment, and I didn't, hadn't connected those dots. And I went, Oh, my goodness, I'm meant to be here. I mean, this was a seed that was called into my life. And here it is. And it's remarkable. So I got on the plane, I came home from Africa from that trip and had a hard time reconciling that children by virtue of being born, you know, 6000, 7000, 8000 miles away their life circumstance, so entirely different and it wasn't okay with me. So I went on a quest, and I spent the next seven, eight years immersing myself in what more can we do? We are wealthy, wealthy, you know, society regardless of what country you come from, there's enough wealth there are enough resources that we have to be able to fix this. And first, it was children be educated, clean water clearly and girl, the empowerment of girls Cindy, became in my understanding through all my years of working in that and research almost, I think it's not, if not the number one of the top three biggest differences we can make to empower our world to move it forward where we create an equal and just society for all just by empowering girls giving girls a voice.   Cindy MacMillan  10:43  You know, when you're telling your story, that's actually putting cold chill bumps on me because I love it so much. So is The Inspired Heart Foundation a culmination of The Collective Heart? Connie Viveros  10:59  Well through circumstances with Debbie's passing and her transitioning and leaving the earth plane, lots of stuff happened and changed. And yes, I came back to the States, I was spending years working in the realm of Africa and women here in the United States through building my own coaching practice began to say, well, that's great, Connie, that you work with girls in Africa and women in Africa. But what about here? We have so many problems right here domestically in the United States. And I said, I couldn't agree more. And that was the impetus. The seed again, that gestation piece that I said, All right, I'll take that on. And you're right, so we created a sort of a bifurcated empowerment program where it was half 50% domestic 50% International. And what I chose to do is take the work I was currently doing with women to help build their personal empowerment, self-love, self-confidence, value, and worth. And we transitioned that into a program for women who didn't have access. We women could pull out our checkbooks and pay $900 $1000, sometimes multiple thousands of dollars for a weekend retreat with a spiritual luminary. And yet there's this whole segment of our society who are living, they can't afford that. They can't afford a weekend off to sit in a women's circle and, you know, talk and feel uplifted and encouraged and, you know, nurtured by other women. And so that became the program here. Didn't think I had much to offer the low income at risk segment of my population. And yet, when we brought our first cohort of women together for a weekend, I asked how many of you have been to a woman's retreat, not a single hand was raised, and Cindy I just took for granted that you know this time in life, most women are participating and circles have some community of support. Not so not so. Cindy MacMillan  13:08  Maybe it's what you're doing online now. How are you bringing the women together? Because I'm getting excited listening to you. I'm thinking, man, how can I do this in Florida? Connie Viveros  13:19  Well, my goodness, we can absolutely collaborate offline after this call, let's let's definitely stay in touch. But it was in person. So if you know this segment of our population, the low income as at risk, they don't have as much access, access to transportation, access to technology, etc. And I knew intuitively that we needed to hold them in a very tight container. I mean, there were some women who came in the door on a Friday night. It was much like the work we did with Debbie it was a weekend and if I had let them go Friday night, they would never come back. And so we held them for the entire weekend. So Friday night, Saturday, and then we would release on Sunday. In that time, we create trust and intimacy and community. And by Sunday, crying hugging you are my sister, oh my god falling in love with and in truth, you know creating that environment where women feel they're not alone in their struggle, and it was huge and I was blown away I let spirit lead the way. And he put me she put me to work in a very, very big way and it's part of what I do, but it's one of the most rewarding. Cindy MacMillan  14:33   I can see where that would be rewarding. Having your heart filled with so much love.   Connie Viveros  14:39  Absolutely. It was already what I was doing. And and the impetus came in a workshop when one of my paying participants and I charge hundreds if thousands of dollars for my work said Connie, every woman needs that how can we make this accessible? And I said All right, I'll take on that challenge and most people who know me know, my middle name is you know, get it done. So you give me a challenge and boom, we get it done. So it's been very rewarding. We've had three cycles of cohorts go through the program. It's a nine-month long mentorship, as well as deep retreat, personal retreat, or transformation where we hold them, we do three retreats a year. Cindy MacMillan  15:22  For it to be nine months, that is some really deep work that you're doing. Connie Viveros  15:27  And we knew it had to be that model, only because they didn't get this way overnight. You know, many of them were coming in, in their from their late 20s all the way through their 60s. And you know that transformation does not happen overnight. And so we knew that the unfolding and unraveling was going to take place and the transformation was in their commitment and showing up for themselves. And at the end of these programs, the testimonials are just this. It's this you know, it'll bring tears to eyes to hear how they've changed and shifted their own lives and who they're becoming just by being given support and encouragement and someone to believe in them.   Cindy MacMillan  16:10  And somebody just to listen to them as well? Connie Viveros  16:12  Oh, I mean, it's remarkable, someone to open their heart, another sister and to sit and hear their vulnerability and hear their challenges. I'll just tell you one little anecdote. One woman came to us a survivor of domestic violence, abuse, she had been in a long-term abusive relationship. And she always viewed herself through the lens of an abused woman as a negative as something that made her very weak. And she stood up in front of the group one weekend and told her story to a standing ovation and responses of you're so strong, you're so amazing. You're so resilient, and she said, I never thought my story was insensitive. In that moment, Cindy, she shifted her perception of what she had been through. And today you wouldn't recognize her from the woman that walked in the door.   Cindy MacMillan  17:10  I love hearing those stories, because I think a lot of us also felt that way when we would go out to our weekend workshops with Debbie as well.   Connie Viveros  17:18  Exactly. And you asked the question to me earlier in your email of you know, was coaching that led me to The Inspired Heart or vice versa? Well, it was the coaching that changed me that allowed me to see more women need to have receive this work, then the other way around, and if we can get this work out to more and more women and men, our world would be a very different, different place to grow up and live in. Cindy MacMillan  17:49  Well, I'm definitely going to be in touch with you though. What I can do here. Connie Viveros  17:53  Thank you. Thank you. I look forward to that. Cindy MacMillan  17:55  You work with self-love, transforming self-doubt to self-love. Can you give us maybe three ways that you do that transformation, to self-love, quite frankly, that we all need and that we all forget. Connie Viveros  18:10  Absolutely. And my pleasure and I would say it starts with the foundation. And I remember starting as a coach and I didn't necessarily step into the coaching arena and life coaching, thinking it was necessarily a spiritual practice. But over the years and I've been doing this now for well over 10 years and this was really Debbie's influence upon me way back then, is how deeply spiritual Shadow Work and transformation is, and it can change your life. Once we remove these layers of shame and guilt and fear. And so my first tip is developing a spiritual self-care practice and that can mean something unique for each and every person. And not necessarily just women. But what is self-care, it's meditation, its nature, it could be a walk in nature, it could be listening to deeply meditative music, dancing art, but find some way that you connect to something that is greater than yourself, that pushes you, you walk toward it until it begins to pull you in a way that inspires something within you. So that would be my first tip. And then a second-deep practice is to connect and find a community of likeminded advocates, people who are your champions. We all surround ourselves with so many different types of community. And I even know for me, I spent years trying to fit in, fit into my birth, family fit into my school environments, my college environments, I have friends that I met through my raising three children. And I never felt like I quite fit. And so for me when I finally acknowledged that, you know, I was a spiritual person, and I was going to go meditate and found people that were also pursuing that greater idea. I took this big deep breath and relaxed into likeminded people, people that encouraged me and motivated me and said, yay, you're doing great. And Debbie's community was a big part of that. Cindy MacMillan  20:31  Yes, you could just feel at home Connie Viveros  20:33  Absolutely. You can just feel your you don't know more pretenses. You're holding your breath trying to be someone or something that you just weren't authentically and I like Debbie's community because we could show up as our brilliant selves, or a hot mess, and we cynically and we were completely accepted. It always shapes it and, and we were celebrated in that way. And the third thing that I think is a very doable thing right now and it sort of is dovetails hand in hand in fist with the first thing is to unplug from technology. I know we believe that this is really our friend and in times like this, Cindy it's actually kept us connected to those communities we've needed. But I believe strongly that there are times and opportunities where we need to go off the grid, we need to completely disengage, put your cell phone away, I like to call it you know, technology fast where I will spend two sometimes an entire weekend where I won't turn on my phone, I won't engage because the inspiration and that is you know, the impulses that come to you from Spirit are in the silence and if we're constantly filling up our time with you know, social media and that syndrome of you know, comparing ourselves and FOMO and all I like to call it JOMO, the joy of missing out, so go for JOMO instead of FOMO. But really, it allows you to get tethered to that spiritual sense. And that's all part of you know, the underlying umbrella of creating a spiritual practice in your life that fulfills you and nurtures you. Cindy MacMillan  22:20  Connie, I do agree with you. Ever since I've been on Facebook, I don't know exactly how long that's been, let's say 10 years. At least twice a year. I can't remember what Facebook calls it's now I don't delete it. But I temporarily deactivate it a week at a time because I can find myself getting caught up in comparison. And I just don't want to do that. So I like what you call it a technology fast.   Connie Viveros  22:51  Detox or whatever you want to call it. Yeah. So we do juice cleanses and food cleanses and exercise cleanses is really we have to do a tech a tech detox and they're finding scientific evidence that you know, we didn't know this when technology and the way in which Facebook came into our lives we didn't know it then because I think it surprised even the people you know, Zuckerberg and his team and all those that have come after him it's surprised them the level of engagement but it's turning into you know, manipulation at its finest in a way that we can't even fully understand and I think for all for us that are awakening and ascending in our spiritual work, we have to be aware and not let us pull us down the rabbit hole and that's really really important that it's become something other than what it once was. What Yeah, and it is getting kind of scary. Cindy MacMillan  23:49  We are this time has flown by, Oh, well. I want to get I want to respect your time but I want to get just a couple more things in. What do you wish you had known when you started out as a coach? Connie Viveros  24:02  Well, I think I would have liked to know that I was going to become a coach. I went into the work for personal reasons because I knew something deeper and something needed to shift in me internally. You said at the top of your show that you know when you change the insides external change, then Debbie was famous for saying that your outside circumstances are a direct reflection of your inner thought-forms. And my outsides looked really great. But I came to Debbie's work as kind of twisted up angry bitch, and I wanted to get to the source of that because I knew that wasn't who I wanted to be. And it was not allowing me to enjoy everything I had, and had I gone into the training, knowing I was looking to become a coach, I think it would have helped me understand the bigger picture of what I was doing at that time. And at the time I just said, I just want my own transformation. And then it turned into, oh my gosh, everybody needs this and how can I be of service?   Cindy MacMillan  25:18  You know, I'm reminded, as you're saying that Connie when I went out to San Diego for the Shadow Process when I went out for that, I remember when I got on the plane to come back, that I would never be the same again. Connie Viveros  25:32  And we weren't what happened in those rooms. And I and I, again, this phrase, I think is overused and misunderstood. But that spiritual bypass, you know, so many of us are doing the spiritual bypass. And I think that Debbie created a container that allowed us to work our stuff out in a safe, holy container, where we didn't have to blather all over the world and our family and our loved ones anymore. We went in one way, and we came out another and we went home more loving and more peaceful. And over time, I know for me, it changed my life. And now my family didn't change my husband anything but my external circumstances didn't change. It was how I viewed them, and how I was at peace with the life that I had created for the first time ever. Cindy MacMillan  26:27  That's right. If you could turn back time and talk to your 18-year-old self, what would you tell her about the season that you're in right now? Connie Viveros  26:37  Oh, I would tell her she's loved and she's she matters and that she's doing just fine. And everything's gonna be okay. You're doing your absolute best and we appreciate and love you beyond measure. Cindy MacMillan  26:54  This is the perfect place to end because that is beautiful. But before we do finish up completely. How can people follow you on your journey? And how can they support you?    Connie Viveros  27:13  Oh, thank you for that question. Well through my classes and my workshops, my website is angelemerging.com and I offer spiritual mentoring and Oracle readings. I have a relationship with sort of channeled information and inspiration. And then my workshops. I have a meetup group as well called Angel Emerging meetup and it's on the West Coast and but like you said, we have online classes now. And then they can contact me by email, which is connie@connieviveros.com. Cindy MacMillan  27:52  And I will make sure to put all of this into the show notes so everybody can have your information. Connie Viveros  27:58  Thank you, Cindy, so much. And you asked how people can help it is just continuing to be the best version of themselves. And whatever they're bumping up against, get some help, get some mentoring, get some, you know, support for whatever it is you're going through. Very few of us can do it alone. Thank you.   Cindy MacMillan  28:19  Thank you very much.   Connie Viveros  28:20  What a pleasure to be with you.   Cindy MacMillan  28:24  Thank you for listening to this week's episode of Exploring the Seasons of Life. I enjoyed my conversation with Connie Viveros and I especially liked it when she said, " I had a hard time reconciling that children by virtue of being born 6,000, 7,000 8,000 miles away their circumstances were so entirely different and it wasn’t ok with me.” Right now, we are in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s our turn to say, it is not ok and how can I help? How can I contribute and make a difference? What feels right to me at this moment? Here are just a few things to consider: Donate to your local food bank Support local nonprofits Check on your neighbors Be kind Take care of yourself If you live in Brevard County Florida consider United Way of Brevard, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, The Children's Hunger Project, or The Salvation Army of South Brevard County. There are so many wonderful organizations to consider. Just take action.            Make sure to visit our website, CynthiaMacMillan.com. While you're at it, if you found value in this show we'd appreciate you simply telling a friend about the show, that will help us out. Until next time, live inspired!  

On December 25, 1951, was a double celebration for Harry & Harriette Moore of Mims, Florida. Not only was it Christmas, but the couple were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. In those 25 years, the Moore’s had raised 2 daughters, taught countless children in segregated schools within Brevard County Florida, and founded the Brevard County chapter of the NAACP, just to name a few accomplishments.  It had become a tradition for the couple to cut their anniversary cake just as they had on their wedding day, arm in arm, hand in had.  As they sliced their cake that evening, they had no idea they would become the first assassinations of the civil rights movement.Join Jen and Cam on this very special 1st anniversary Our True Crime Podcast episode as we discuss Harry Moore and the Groveland Four.We have a brand new listener discretion from our buddy Edward Octoberpod @octoberpodVHSA giant thank you to all our listeners, especially those that helped commemorate this milestone with us and gave us a 'thank you'.

We had a big week shooting and releasing this television commercial we call "Brown Spots". The advertisement has been released to facebook and it will be released in our local market on TV in Brevard County Florida in the coming weeks. In this episode Trevor and Austin discuss battling the elements in this all exterior shoot and creating proper geography for the viewer. Let's just say tighty whities were an essential part of wardrobe. We took on this concept from the business owner to create a funny ad for his irrigation and landscaping company. After all was said and done we are pleased with what we were able to accomplish in one golden hour shoot in a local neighborhood.
